Twitter banned Trump, Kayleigh McEnany should be next

Trump press secretary & campaign spokesperson Kayleigh McEnany is the queen of self-righteous mean on social media. Now that Trump is banned, will she be held accountable for her over-the-top tweets?

Twitter has finally banned Donald Trump for “glorifying violence,” in part by promoting unfounded election conspiracies that incited a Republican mob to a deadly terror attack on the US Capitol building this week.

But Trump wasn’t alone.

Lots of Trump-Republicans used Twitter to spread lies about the election, and more generally, divide the country with over-the-top, inflammatory rhetoric. Chief among them: Trump White House and campaign spokesperson Kayleigh McEnany.

Lying about the Obama-Trump transition, claiming it wasn’t “peaceful.” (Which could lead Trump’s base to think there was no reason for them to be peaceful in return.)

Warning apocalyptically about what will happen if Democrats win the 2020 election - “STOP THEM”:

Demanding again that Trump supporters stop Democrats: “STOP THEM”.

Claiming with incendiary language three days ago that Democrats stole the Georgia run-off elections:

Criticizing the suggestion that Trump was instigating a coup, only hours before Trump launched a violent coup attempt on the US Capitol:

Possibly the worst tweet of all is an ominous retweet that McEnany made of far-right Trump-supporting Congressman Matt Gaetz, who warned that “Republicans would not leave democracy undefended on January 6th,” the day of the bloody insurrection:
